Default bent valves?

brought my car to the dealership today for diagnosis check. turns out engine has low compression and bent valves on the number 3 and 4 pistons. my question is how hard is it to replace the valves, i have a set of type r valves at my buddie's house that he said he would give me. is this a very difficult fix. thanks for any info, and to those who help me figure out the problem before thanks again.

You need to pull the cylinder head. I would have a machine shop install the valves. If you are planning on upgrading your springs and retainers, you should do that now. It sounds like you had a money shift.

They may determine that the damage was caused by abuse. The money shift is usually redline in third gear seeking fourth but finding second.
